Noted for its ability to ‘furnish experienced arbitrators’, One Essex Court contains part- and full-time arbitrators capable of sitting in a wide variety of international arbitrations, including those with a foreign seat. The set also maintains a dedicated team of arbitration clerks, separate from its clerking team for counsel instructions, to ensure a confidential service. Ian Glick KC sits as arbitrator in ad hoc and institutional arbitrations across the spectrum of commercial disputes, including those concerning civil fraud, competition, insurance, TMT and procurement. A former Court of Appeal judge, Dame Elizabeth Gloster brings her experience to oil & gas, LNG, insurance, banking, shipping and construction arbitrations.
